The income of political parties are governed by the special provisions of section 13A of the Income tax Act, 1961, A per act, there is tax-exemption to recognized political parties for income from house property, income by way of voluntary contributions, income from capital gains and income from other sources. In other words, only income under the head salaries and income from business or profession are chargeable to tax in the hands of political parties in India.
